The US President Donald Trump According to Telegraph has proposed to be sent to the Ukraine US private military companies.
Telegraph’s report reports that Donald Trump is in talks with his European allies on the mission of sailing for the construction of fortifications that will protect US interests in Ukraine.
The plan is drawn up as a solution after the US president’s promise that US military forces will not be sent to Ukraine.
US contractors could be sent to help rebuild Ukraine’s defense lines, new bases and protect US businesses.
The presence of private soldiers would be a deterrent to discourage Vladimir Putin from violating a possible truce.
The plan is discussed in parallel with a number of other so -called security guarantees – drawn up by the alliance of the willingness under the leadership of Britain and France – which will form the basis of a long -term peace plan.
The final details – including the policing of the airspace, the training and the Navy in the Black Sea – may be announced in the coming days after weeks of diplomatic actions triggered by Mr Trump’s talks with Putin in Alaska.
Border reinforcement
European officials said the main strategy for prevention of war in the future was to continue the reconstruction of Ukraine’s armed forces in order to be the main means of deterrence.
According to the plan, the Ukrainian forces would defend the reinforced borders at the forefront, as would be agreed in any peace agreement.
Kiev forces will be re -equipped and trained by NATO European allies, using existing and new mechanisms.
For example, Ukraine could continue to buy US systems, such as Patriot air defense systems or Himars rocket launchers, using funds provided by European allies.
US military contractors in Ukraine
The front -line fortifications and the bases near them could be manufactured by US private military contractors, as in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The presence of US contractors in Ukrainian territory will be considered a significant aid for European forces, who wish to participate in a possible peace deal.
Their mission would mean that the White House has interests in the case and would increase the deterrent effect on a Russian attack because of the fear of retaliation by the US, according to sources.
Discussions about the use of US contractors can be signed by a joint agreement between Washington and Kiev to extract the huge minerals and rare earths in Ukraine.
The White House remains opposed to sending its own troops to Ukraine, but has agreed to widely support the European forces used to support any peace agreement.
US sources said that private US companies “are sending US troops, namely US passport holders, to the ground, which is a virtually deterrent factor for Putin.”
The use of private contractors would also allow Mr Trump to calm the fears of Maga supporters who are opposed to foreign intervention, and would provide another business agreement to support him, officials said.
Seat belt
Some European countries have proposed the idea of a demilitarized security belt to separate Ukrainian and Russian forces after the end of hostilities.
It could be patrolled by peacekeeping forces or observers, as agreed by Kiev and Moscow in any peace agreement.
Volodimir Zelenski, president of Ukraine, will probably ask for European forces to park in the zone. The Kremlin has proposed to use China as a security guarantor in talks on a peace deal.
Mr Trump also proposed the mission of Chinese troops as a peacekeeping forces to post -war Ukraine during his meeting with European leaders last week, according to the Financial Times.
The differences between war -treads mean that all sides will be unlikely to agree on this choice.
The idea, proposed for the first time by Putin, was dealt with by Europe and has already been rejected by Mr Zelenski for Beijing’s support for Russia’s war actions.
In addition, European countries insist that they will not place their soldiers at the forefront between the Ukrainian and the Russian army.
Responding to reports on the prospect of creating a security belt, Mr Zelenski said the Russians could retreat if they wanted to create more space between each other and the Ukrainian forces.
